- 1939–42: Breaking of U-boat Enigma cipher (including building of Bombe
machine)
- 1950: Computing Machinery and Intelligence: The Turing Test
- Considered by some as the founder of computer science

- Became the concept for the modern theory of computation and
computability
- Infinite # of possible Turing Machines, each corresponding to a
different algorithm
- Each algorithm written out as a set of instructions in a standard form (àcomputer languages)

- Created a machine called the Bombe, which had many drums with 26 sides,
each side corresponding to a letter of the alphabet.
- Eliminated the incorrect possibilities to get to possible correct
combinations.
